By pprass on 07-Aug-17. Waypoint GC7A71T

TftcAfter finishing the art Adlab by KWmoo in Wauchope, I thought I would check the caches out over this way. This one was very quick to find. I wasn't feeling up to venturing further along today once I seen the water across the road and since no one knew I was heading here. But it is staying on my list

Find#2610Have been planning a trip up to Kempsey to have a look at the slim dusty series. After my birthday yesterday I wanted to grab this cache with Shaneo58 today. A quick find at GZ. Log and cache in great condition TFTC

Found on the way home from the Bago maze. Was thinking about continuing on but don't think the Subaru would have handled the track very well. Quick find. TFTC

Cool trinkets, wish we brought something to swap.

Found it easy

Easy find hint helps

Thanks!

On the hunting trail with Liz and Bruce on a Christmas 2023 adventure. A quick find here and didnt even require a 4WD, however looking ahead, thats probably about to change. Its a great day for caching. TFTC pprass

Out collecting a nearby T4.5 cache with KWmoo and this one was a nice park and grab en route.

Cache in good condition. Log could do with a new zip lock plastic bag as the current one has seen better days.

Will look forward to coming back another time to visit Blue Creek dam which from all reports is well worth the trip.

A find on the way to the winery.

Quick easy find, and glad we got to log in a sneaky birthday cache for Bec TFTC

Quick find

Great find...!!

I went with Fitzy_1965 for a long weekend drive up the east coast to Port Macquarie caching along the way and visiting several new towns and villages. A highlight was a get together with Pprass & Kat after a few mega 4wd climbs in the afternoon. Day 3 took us back into the hills west of the coast from Pt Macquarie. One too many, but it was fun. A little caching around the outskirts of Pt Macquarie before finishing the day in the Port caravan park. Very civilised.

This set of caches out to the dam was a fun way of seeing bits of the track in more detail. It was eerie at the base of the dam wall, I am glad I did not have to climb up.

Thanks for the cache pprass

21,994. Found during an epic trip up to Port Macquarie and back with albida33 over a 4 day weekend. Often signed as F65 A33. After heading up to Taree from Goulburn on Friday, we cached up to and reached Port Macquarie yesterday.

Day 3 of our North Coast Adventure, and after slumming it in a Hotel last night (the local Showgrounds and Caravan Parks were not taking anyone who was not self contained. We were even asked if we had bathrooms after I said we were in Swags?????) we were up early for another days caching fun around the Port Macquarie and Wauchope region. We were especially keen to do the Forest Road series today, plus and Challenge Caches which we might be able to get. This was the next find of the day. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache as found, then we headed off to the next one.

Thanks pprass !! Where better to start out Journey to Blue Creek Dam than here !

Another quick find that we have driven past many times on our way home from Wauchope but never stopped for. This time we decided to stop as we needed to fill a hole in our caching calendar for today.
Thanks for the hide pprass.

Great. Thanks.

Our quickest yet, and definitely not too far from road we were traveling!

A quick stop and find as we headed back into Wauchope. Thanks pprass.

Decided to stop for this one on our way back from our adventurous find further up the road?? Hm, no way the old Commodore would have gotten up there. But this was a nice quick find and one to settle our nerves from the previous cache. Thanks pprass.

A nice quick find while heading down Bago Road and I liked that I was shielded from the passing traffic. Thought about heading down Gregg's Rd further but decided to leave for another visit.

Found at 4:32:00 PM

i didn't make it all the way to the dam, piking a few km short. I would have liked to come, but needed more time and courage, so this was a nice consolation find on the return trip.

Thanks pprass

We have headed south a few weeks early to have a little holiday prior to attending the Oz Geomuster Mega event. We have found ourselves based in Port Macquarie for a few days which has enable us to spend some time exploring some of the nearby towns.

Today, we took a drive out toward Wauchope, exploring a few 4WD tracks which ended up taking us south as far as Herons Creek for the day [^] We had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our way

Thank you pprass for having placed the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

A quick find on our morning in wauchope - with nudge74. TFTC

Found it! Went the long way and got very muddy but so much fun!!

Found after a quick search, TFTC!

Found with my geo-family on our way up to South West Rocks for the weekend.

### **TFTC** ###

Find #1757
We are on our way to South West Rocks for a family weekend, we've taken the Wauchope diversion for the Bago Road letterboxes and other caches. We emerged in Wauchope with a bag of 8 finds, 2 DNFs and a trig. We'll definitely cruise through here again, it is lot nicer than the highway....
Just what we needed after a nasty DNF up the road, a nice sized hide, good coords for a quick find. The kids left a few aluminium whistles, I don't think they took anything.... The trail leading from here looks great, we might try it one day.
